I was thinking about doing the same thing to my NAV/Music Box but I figured that since everything is SO integrated (Radio/SAT/TEMP/NAV/M-BOX/TouchScreen) I'd be hard pressed.

I've read about ppl disabling the parking break safety and running a small computer (or of sorts) through the provided AUX composite inputs. Disabling is safefy feature is illegal to do though.

There is actually a product called CAMP2 that is made to work with an AUX input to provide engine information from a diagnostic panel under the passangers feet area.

As for more space, the Music Box can rip songs in two bit rates. It is factory set at the higher bit rate which you can change. Also, connecting an ipod/itouch/iphone is nicely setup on the touchscreen. It will not charge the itouch or iphone while plugged in without an adapter but work just the same. (you can buy one at Best Buy or many other electronic stores)

Well check MYG37.COM - INFINITI G37 (SKYLINE) FORUMS, GALLERY, CHAT, AND MORE. and you will find a long thread like 17 pages of someone taking the hdd (same as in the Z) and hooking it up and trying to upgrade it or reading the files but they hit a dead end when they found that the files for the system are tied to the specific vin of the vehicle. Will probably be the same for the Z since it is the same exact system. Actually in the G the hdd has the nissan badging on it.

The flash is only useful to transfer tracks back into the musicbox that have missing info. I transfered some cd's pretty quick but if gracenotes doesnt have the files you have to go online the get the details of that cd. How else will you interface with the musicbox. This is once youve already transfered the cd and found that you have missing info on it. Its a pain in the a$$ but you can try this. Transfer from your computer, your music files to your CF. Run the files through gracenote and then transfer to the musicbox. That way you will have all missing data if any taken care of and avoid put in each CD. But you got to have all the music stored on your computers hard drive. Im waiting for my CF to come in so I cant try this. I wish I could only use the CF but if i am able to load a 500 files at a time onto the musicbox without sticken in CD's. Ill be content. Now what I have to do is back up all my CD's to my computer to dop this. Thats a pain in the A@@ It sucks both ways but so does not being able to find your tracks. Ill keep you posted.
